Apex Winter Sports

Swim and Dive
The Apex Swim and Dive season has started. The team’s first swim meet was on the 23rd of November against Panther Creek, Green Hope, and Rolesville. The team performed well coming in second place to Green Hope. We interviewed Marisa White, a top female swimmer, about the team. She is super excited about the season and has great confidence in the team. Some of her goals include performing well in the 100 yard Butterfly and doing well in Regionals and State Championships. The Swim team’s next meet is on December 13th, against Athens Drive, Holly Springs, and Corinth Holders. The Dive team is currently preparing for their first Dive competition on December 10th.

Even with a tough loss the boys took big wins against Fuquay (66-47) and Heritage (73-65). Point guard that led the team in points on Tuesday, Patrick Malott, dropped 37 points against Heritage. Also impressive performance from freshman guard, Kody Frey, with 7 assists and center, Sam Martin, with 12 points, 8 blocks, and 3 steals.
